Who will win the foreign policy debate Monday night between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in Boca Raton, Florida at Lynn University? The ′all important′ third debate will be the last time these two presidential candidates will face each other before the election on November 6, just 15 days away. CBS veteran anchorman, Bob Schieffer, will be the moderator. While most of the recent presidential polls show the race being nearly dead-even, there is no doubt that the Romney campaign still has momentum and the trend on their side. For Obama, months of spending hundreds of millions of dollars in efforts to trash and belittle Mitt Romney have failed utterly, much like every other enterprise he has attempted. Talk of an ′October Surprise′ from Team Obama could be anything at this point, including a deal to hold nuke talks with Iran, a story leaked by the Obama campaign newsletter, the New York Times.

Topics for tonight will include more discussion of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, as well as the state of Al Qaeda and terrorism worldwide. Also we can expect other topics like Iran and its nuclear program, Russia which is flexing its muscles again, our relationship with China and the War in Afghanistan. The first two debates, which focused mainly on economic and domestic policy, each had audiences of about 65 million Americans. Given that some 4 million citizens have voted already, plus tonight′s debate will be competing with both a football and a play-off baseball game, will it draw similar numbers? Most polls show foreign policy issues ranked low as concerns for voters, in many cases in the single digits.

Obama′s objective tonight will be to try to highlight why his foreign policy is better and that he has more experience in dealing with international affairs. Romney′s objective is to appear presidential and competent enough to handle whatever comes his way while not looking like a novice nor a war-monger. It is being estimated that as many as one-third of all votes to be cast will be before November 6 as some three dozen states allow for early voting. So whatever happens during this last 90-minute debate could play a major role in the outcome.

The last showdown between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in Florida will be held Monday night at Lynn University in Boca Raton. Who will win the third presidential debate? Will Bob Schieffer, tonight′s moderator, inject himself too much helping Obama as the previous moderators have done? Is foreign policy a strong enough issue to help or harm either candidate? The fun begins at 9pm EDT, so we won′t have long to wait for the answers we seek.

If Romney gets elected, well, let’s look at him. He made a fortune buying up companies and gutting them and laying off the workers, yet he says that he knows how to create jobs. He’s got millions stashed away in foreign bank accounts, yet he says he wants to eliminate tax breaks. How stupid can the American people be? Pretty stupid. Stupid enough to elect Dick Nixon over Geo. McGovern, after which Nixon was exposed as a criminal and driven from office, even by his own party. Democracy is the best form of government invented, but it has its problems. The problem is, the majority often gets it wrong. If Romney gets elected and the GOP gets back into power, I don’t know where my family will be four years from now. Living in a ditch somewhere, while someone in India is doing my job, probably. My company already has me training our “offshore colleagues” how to do what I have been doing for the past fifteen years, and I just got a veiled email from the CEO about supporting Romney for the good of the company, something which would have been unheard of before the Citizens United decision

I don’t know. If Romney wins, it will be unbelievable. At the end of the Bush years, GOP policies almost sank us into a second Great Depression, and you are going to tell me that four years later, the GOP will be back in the White House? Unbelievable. We’ll see. What I would like is for the GOP and conservatives to WIN IT ALL. The White House, and the Congress, so that Democrats don’t even have a voice. Give it to them.

And then, let’s see what happens. Let’s just see. Give them the rope, and suffer for a while, and then maybe, just maybe, the American people will finally wake up and we will be shut of them forever.

And I am sick of that car salesman’s fake smile that’s stamped on the bastard’s face, too.

Yeah, the guys who were selling Volts and Fiskars are no longer smiling.
Those smiles were okay, right fillbutt ?

Your first post is nothing more than a bunch of retarded crap thats been shtcanned months ago.
But, you know Barry cannot debate foreign policy so ya’all just keep rambling off the same ole stupid crap hoping it will change things.

Barry will lose the debate because his foreign policy is the worst ever.
The Benghazi mess alone makes this crystal clear.
Pretending (out of desperation) to have created dialogue with Iran 2 weeks prior to election day makes this evident.
Instead, he should be working out a plan with Israel, or at least give that impression.
Mitt Romney will be our next president, get used to it

Fil, if the vast majority has gotten it wrong, why should President Obama be re-elected? He had his chance and failed. If you are as clairvoyant as you claim, could you please give me six winning lottery numbers.

Sincerely, KC

PS, Mr. Romney looks much better as a car salesman than President Obama as whatever he has pretended to be.

Peace!

The closer the Kenyan gets to the Black Hole of History that will make His Name a Joke for the next Three Generations, the more he reverts to the Ghetto Jive Talk and Mannerisms he Cut his Teeth On.
He is Leading With His Chin and if Sugga Rey Romney lands a goodun on him tonite, Obamba will go full Gangsta on him.

I guess most Americans are as stupid as Filbert.
Obama has never created anything. A rebel rouser who hates this country and trying his best to cause a world wide depression. He wants a new world order where he and other liberals decide who gets what with other peoples earned wealth. Obama and his wife live a lifestyle, most Royals cannot afford. He did not create the wealth to support his lifestyle. It is taken from tax payers.

Romney’s business record is much better than Obama’s. Staples and Dominos that Romney help along has created many jobs in my neighborhood. Related to business and job creators I have seen first hand successes and failures. One learns from failures and one moves forward and try to avoid failures. Most businesses and job creators do a positive service to their families,friends,employees,the community, the country and the world. I have not noticed any positive results from Obama Care or any of Obama’s policies. I Hoping For Change.

Yeah, Al Queda is stronger.
Rupaul is a feat of strength next to Barry.
Romneys policy is “peace through strength”

Filbert, I too find it odd that people somehow believe that a business CEO’s intentions are to create jobs. It’s quite the opposite.

I certainly don’t share your wish for the GOP to win all. We saw that with the 109th Congress, an era of drunken spending, Constitution thumping, and rich man coddling that left the economy in ashes. They brought the thriving Clinton years to a halt, brought us to a brink of disaster, dumped it in the Democrats lap, and then obstructed every effort of restoring the economy with a clear admission of “insuring Obama to be a 1 term President”. And they now blame Obama for their own failures while promising to bring those same failed policies to a new level if elected. Amazing.

I dont know guys.
Romney seems to be missing opportunities.
Although he backed Mubarak being ousted he should of stated that the Muslim brotherhood needs to be ousted as well.
If were worried about threats to Israel this needs to be said.
There will be no “boots on the ground” in Iran.
It will be a precision bombing campaign.
Removal of Qadaffi resulted in the vacuum allowing Al Queda and American deaths.
We should not arm anyone in Syria but instead disable Assad and friends from the air.
Romney needs to bring up the Rose garden speech and how it displays the administrations inability to define our enemy.
Romney needs to call out Obama on his taking refuge in economic discussions to avoid national security while pointing the failures of the economy he’s boasting of.
Romney needs to tell Obama “you did not end the Iraq war. It was Bushs plan called “a foreseeable horizon” that you re-named and piggybacked.
Afghanistan is by no means a success.
American troop casualties since 2008 are up 300% and the people we trained are assassinating our guys at will.
Theres more, much more

Matthews’ first shot on camera was to say that this whole Presidential Campaign was solely about White Southern Racism. Period.

In other words, if Obama couldn’t run for re election unopposed, then the only reason for anyone to run would be racism.

Romney did all that he had to do which was look presidential, sound knowledgeable, and not make a gaffe. He flew high over the presidential bar, and he showed confidence while not being mean. I think it was a masterful performance which focused on wavering women voters and the undecideds.

Now watch the undecided voters break for the challenger by 2-1 like they usually do in the final days of every election. After four years of knowing Obama, they will either vote Romney or not vote at all.

I am extremely enthused about what transpired tonight, not from the standpoint of winning high school debating points and gotcha zingers, but from the perspective of winning voters over.

Immediately after the debate :

All Chris Matthews could come up with : This Is ALL about White Southern Racism. Period. It is the ONLY reason for ANY opposition to Obama.

So far some are saying that by being fairly benign and not more argumentative(whats there to argue about?) Romney was catering to the women vote and/or the undecided.
That may very well be true but its hardly a winning foreign policy.
I believe Romney could of looked very presidential if he used Obama as an example of how he’d treat our enemies.
This could of been achieved very easily by drawing the comparisons and similarities that Obama and our enemies have in common.
They both say they care about free speech and religious tolerance but their actions prove this to be bullsht.
Neither of them embrace American exceptionalism.
Obamas contempt for Israel is paralleled by many Arab leaders who only pretend to care while allowing Hezbolla, Hamas and Iran to terrorize Israel with what is undoubtedly a proxy war funded by them in many ways.
Both candidates are on record saying we should not engage in nation building but went on to name all the investments they’d make to Muslim states that hate us.
While I have no doubt Romney would be a more effective CIC I wish he’d of confirmed that last night by beating Obama to a pulp with the facts that make the last 4 years foreign policies look as detrimental and retarded as they have been.
But, since I’m prolly the last guy to ever be nominated for president, and love Ted Nugent,I’m still able to see thru myself and respect Romneys strategy last night.
I would of turned Obama inside out.
Especially after that 1 1/2 hour glaring sneer that looked like he was telepathically summoning demons to kill Romney.
It was the most hateful face I’ve ever seen on Obama.

Screw Chris Matthews and the whole lot.
I havent seen that many retards in one place since I was a greeter at the Special Olympics.
When Romney wins who wants to bet (hope) that the whole MSNBC gang will off themselves or be shut down ?

Yes, Micky, it would have been glorious to beat the daylights out of Obama’s failed foreign policy. But Romney is looking at the Big Picture and his goal was to be presidential, calm, steady and not fumble the ball. He achieved those objectives.

You guys were not the target audience last night. They were going for the undecided voter. Most of the polling I’ve seen points to Obama winning with that audience.

And did anyone else notice that Romney, when asked about policy in the Middle East, suggested sending MORE aid money to Islamic countries? Paging the Tea Party! If the President had said that this board would have exploded.
